He uses music to prove that people from french ghettos ("les cités" en français) can lead a successful bizness. this is the way that Jay Z, Puff Daddy for exemple used to walk in. In france, the hip hop mouvement used to be a way to denounce social problems et inequalities. It's an approach that was lead by East Coast old bands : The Wu Tan Klan, A Tribe Called Quest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220297946202910495.post-42483723338686515792008-07-25T15:53:00.000+02:002008-07-25T15:53:00.000+02:00Pirox: you're right about Air, i correct the artic...Pirox: you're right about Air, i correct the article.<BR/><BR/>I agree also with Gainsbourg. He started by classic chanson but now I think most of the people remember him for what he did in the 70s and 80s. And his greatest album "History of Melody Nelson" has been released in 1971, and it was not "real french chanson" already!<BR/><BR/>For TTC, I agree they are not representative of the oldschool french rap but they are the most wellknown band of the indie rap scene (with La Caution, l'Armée des 12, Klub des loosers and many others). To my mind, if there is a leader of mainstream and commercial french rap, it is definitely Booba. He's like 50cent or Kanye West in the US.LFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656673900840620252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220297946202910495.post-11488487476604559192008-07-24T17:28:00.000+02:002008-07-24T17:28:00.000+02:00a few remarks : air is not a french house group. T...a few remarks : air is not a french house group. They play electro.<BR/><BR/>during the 60s and the early 70s, gainsbourg did sing in a real "chanson française" style. It's only during the late 70s, the 80s and the early 90s that he began to miw the other styles you mention, because he was losing his voice (thx to cigarettes and alcohol :-) )<BR/><BR/>same for alain bashung : the 80s albums are very rock. the experilmentation comes qith the loose of his voice.<BR/><BR/>and to finish, i do agree with your appreciation of TTC. I don't consider them like the new lead band of french hip-hop. They're not representative of what the french MCs did.<BR/>In fact, i don't think that there's actually a young lead group in french hip-hop.<BR/>The best are yet IAM, Solaar and NTM, those, as you said, who were the pioneers of this music in France.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220297946202910495.post-86340425971844275172008-07-21T12:36:00.000+02:002008-07-21T12:36:00.000+02:00Great idea, make a blog with reserch about french ...Great idea, make a blog with reserch about french music history.<BR/>Very nice...<BR/><BR/>*123Anne12*<BR/><BR/>P.S - I have a blog to<BR/><BR/>http://mygallery-123Anne12.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
